Binface called it a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” urging voters to \"clean up Clacton\" on what he called on what he called \"Bin Day.\"\nFarage resigned to trigger a by-election and win back the constituency, according to the BBC.  He is under parliamentary investigation over undeclared gifts from cryptocurrency investor Christopher Harborne, a major donor to his Reform Party.\nFarage, known for his close ties with President Donald Trump and his frequent praise for him, denies any wrongdoing.\nInterestingly, one of Binface’s manifesto commitments was to bar legislators from resigning and then standing in the by-election their departure causes.\nMeanwhile, on Polygon (CRYPTO: POL)-based Polymarket, Farage was still heavily favored to win re-election at 96%, while Binface stood at just 4%.\nThe person behind Count Binface is comedian and writer Jonathan Harvey. He wears a bin-shaped helmet, a silver cape, and a costume while mocking candidates’ policies and encouraging people to vote.\nBinface has stood against former UK prime ministers, including Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak and Theresa May.\nPhoto Courtesy: incmonocle on Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.47.1","shortVersion":"4.47.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2654073745","isCrawlerRequest":true}
